X-Factor immunity: do gene differences raise HIV risk in women?
NCT ID NCT01952587
First seen Apr 24, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study looked at whether a specific genetic change in the TLR7 gene (found on the X chromosome) is more common in women with HIV than in healthy women. The goal was to understand if this gene change makes it harder for the immune system to fight off HIV. Researchers studied 90 women to compare the gene's frequency and its effect on immune cell function.
